Choose the Bucket Activity

This Activity is meant for Boy Scouts.

Required:

10 buckets or coffee canscandymeasuring tape

Preparation:

Define a start line.Place a bucket upside down 75 feet from the start line with 1 or 2 pieces of candy under it.Place another bucket every 5 feet farther from the start line.Place a bunch of candy under the 90 foot bucket.

Instructions:

Have scouts line up at the start line.Each scout should go stand next to the bucket that the scout believes is 90 feet away, but do not touch the bucket. After everyone is standing by a bucket, tell them they get to share whatever is under their bucket with everyone else that chose that bucket.You can set up a similar activity by having buckets set in an arc about 100 feet away from a starting point and have scouts chose the bucket closest to 200 degrees on their compass.
